Trucks equipped with refrigeration units are widely used in the food distribution and logistics industries to transport goods needing to be kept under controlled-temperature conditions, such as food and pharmaceutical products. These refrigerated trucks play an important role in ensuring food safety, the reliability of pharmaceutical products, etc. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a growing worldwide awareness of safety and well-being, increasing the need for the delivery of high-quality foods and medicines. Refrigerated trucks are in growing demand especially as small and medium-size trucks for constant-temperature last-mile transportation. Trucks are also undergoing fuel efficiency improvement and electrification because of environmental considerations and soaring crude oil prices. Under such circumstances, it is required to develop transport refrigeration units with high versatility and the capability to keep the temperature constant during transportation. This report presents the TEK series, electric-driven transport refrigeration units for small and medium-size trucks in Europe and Australia, developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd.
